Buddhist Therapists in Kremmling, CO

Are you dealing with trauma, anxiety, addiction, stress, grief, or loss? Do you want peace of mind and to enjoy success? I help individuals realign with their integrity and strength to make the changes they want. Using Eastern and Western techniques I help clients 're-story' traumas and anxieties that allow them to achieve their goals. As an ordained Buddhist priest and former Chaplain, I also offer spiritual counseling. My experience training/counseling prisoners in the United States and Indonesia taught me how often we imprison ourselves with our own emotions.

As a licensed psychotherapist certified in the Hakomi method, Relationship & Dating Coaching, NLP, and Medicine Leadership Facilitation, I am committed to guiding my clients on a transformative journey towards healing, self-discovery, and growth. With a holistic approach that integrates somatic based principles from the Hakomi method, Ancient wisdom that draws from Buddhist and other Spiritual practices, and specialized dating and relationship support, I offer a safe and nurturing space for individuals to resolve trauma and evolve limiting beliefs so that they can experience profound personal and relational transformation.

Being human is complex and sometimes painful. With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for individuals and couples to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

There is a way through this. We will find it together. I believe in the power of authentic expression and deep relationships. I incorporate contemplative, somatic, and social justice approaches in my counseling. I work with adults focusing on identity, gender, and relationships. I provide a collaborative approach utilizing mind-body and present moment awareness to support you in connecting with your intrinsic health and inherent wisdom. As meditator, dancer, and gardener I value time to reflect, slow down, be with nature, and developing our capacity to move from the heart with courage and gentleness.

The human experience is rich, messy and complex. With the right support, you can navigate periods of change, transitions, shakiness, and uncertainty. I can help expand your ability to relate with these experiences. You can learn to use your body, senses, impulses, and unconscious as invaluable tools. As a somatically oriented, Buddhist psychology-based therapist, my hope is to provide a safe, supportive context so that your innate wisdom, clarity, and self-compassion can emerge and blossom. I strongly believe in the healing power of humor, both in and out of the therapy room. You have more freedom than you think!

As humans we experience suffering (painful emotional states). This is normal...but what happens when you feel stuck here; reliving old patterns from unhealed wounds? It's likely that your nervous system is overwhelmed and under-resourced in an increasingly stressful time. As you attempt to cope the best way you know how, you may turn towards substances, work excessively, fill your time with mindless distractions, obsessively worry, or find yourself isolating. You know theres a better way to live, and its okay to seek support. You were not born to suffer.

This world can be a painful and confusing place. Whether you’re struggling with men’s issues, ADHD, relationship issues, or a personal challenge, you may be wonder: Can I ever feel good about who I am? Is it even possible for me to be happy? Is it possible to heal from what I've been through? Regardless of your current situation, the answer to all of these questions is “Yes.” Others similarly situated have found a way out, and there is hope for you too. Sometimes a listening heart, a broader perspective, or new insights can help you reframe your understanding of your life. Learn how to treat yourself as if you were a good friend.

Sometimes the state of our world can feel so scary and heartbreaking that we feel immobilized. Much of our potential is blocked by feeling overwhelmed by the day to day challenge of struggling to advocate for ourselves in our communities, the world, even in our own thoughts and beliefs! It is easy to feel anxious, alone and simultaneously at war with ourselves. I emphasize serving individuals that experience marginalized identities and see myself as your co-conspirator. I work with issues of identity and non-normative experiences, in the context of gender, sexuality as well as queer experience beyond that framework

Therapy is a journey to come more completely into your authentic self. It can be difficult to ask for help, yet as humans we all need help especially at difficult times. In my client focused therapy, I strive to create a safe space to explore your inner world. Our current landscape is full of speed and activity, I help my clients to slow down and work with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms. My passion is to empower you to experience your innate wellness through conversation, mindfulness, art and body awareness practices.

The passion for the work that I do comes from my deep conviction that everyone can benefit from, and in fact deserves, a safe space to be truly heard, seen, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and have experience/ training in supporting clients struggling with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, shame, trauma/PTSD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. I do not ascribe to a one size fits all model of therapy and believe every client to be unique both in terms of there personal goals for therapy and the best way to help them reach these goals

It’s easy to get stuck and confused about who you are and how to find meaning in life. Do you want to know yourself better? Would you like to explore the things impacting your relationships? Are you curious about the people, places, things, and experiences that helped define your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and attractions? These conversations are complex and not often a prioritized part of life. Many have not found the words for these parts of themselves. We are often bound by cultural conditions, traumas, and obstacles that hold us back from connecting to an aliveness that promotes healing and moves us forward in life.

Nathan Daly (they/them/theirs) cannot and will not “fix” you because you are not broken and because all gains made in the therapeutic relationship are a result of your willingness to come to know yourself. Theories and modalities central to Nathan's practice include Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness and Buddhist contemplation practices, feminist theory, family systems, and attachment theory. Nathan's training, passion and personal style tend to be most effective in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse (e.g., sexual, psychological, physical and spiritual) in an individual, couples and family capacity.

So sorry but I am not accepting new clients at the moment. I combine Buddhist psychology with positive psychology to help clients understand how patterns of thinking are creating continued suffering. With a little guidance, thought patterns can shift and allow us to stop reacting to life and begin choosing. I believe that we need to look into the past but not re-traumatize ourselves by reliving those memories. I value the connection between myself and my client as the primary trusting tool as we work toward awareness and safety. This therapeutic alliance is the key to creating the life of peace.

Are you hoping to uncover your inner wisdom and shift your life with the support of wholistic methods intertwined with counseling? If so, I can help you. I help sensitive people heal emotional roadblocks so they can finally trust themselves, understand their purpose and find greater emotional and spiritual freedom. Many of my clients go from surviving to thriving when they learn how to listen to and embody their true selves. If you are tired of the same disappointing cycle, I can help you close this difficult chapter and discover your soul essence, so you can finally feel confident and enlivened as the true author of your own life.

My best work is with women who are suffering from PTSD, depression, and anxiety. If you're experiencing symptoms associated with these diagnoses or disorders with personality, mood, or substances then set up a time with me to consult with you. I am passionate about treating individuals who want to go beyond a diagnosis, are unsure about a diagnosis, or don't feel comfortable with a diagnosis. There is much more to therapy and healing than what is laid out in the DSM we are all too familiar with in America. I made a conscious decision to learn Buddhist Psychology in order to go beyond the norm in order to help my clients.
